This is also a coincidence - since she was asked to take away the pill by Empress Jiang in Dizi Mountain, Qiu Yulan has not seen the queen.

Empress Jiang was annoyed that she was not interesting enough, so she did not summon her again.

It's just that now Xiao Zhuang personally came to the door to beg: "I heard that the palace is going to find a concubine for several princes, Man'er is the right age, and you know her. Although the son is a little anxious, his appearance and bearing are still okay among the official ladies. We are our own people, and I won't tell you those clichés, so I just said it directly: His Royal Highness King Su Wen Lu is kind and kind, and I think I can tolerate Man'er's escape! ”

Because there was an example of King Qi almost being forced to die not long ago, she assured, "Man'er is self-aware, and she also wants to find a husband who can talk well and live a good life!" ”

She is Jiang Yashuang's own sister and sister-in-law, and she opened her mouth in person, although Qiu Yulan was very suspicious that she would ask the queen for this favor, whether it would lead to Zhuang Man's direct outing, but she still had to agree - she couldn't tell Xiao Zhuang's family: "You just because you are the daughter-in-law of the big house and are alienated by the queen, so you don't dare to ask the queen in person." I've bumped into the queen in front of me and shown the queen's face, okay? ”

Then she entered the palace the next day to meet her, but Queen Jiang didn't show her a face, but told her calmly: "The day before yesterday, the sixth daughter-in-law came to intercede for her maiden cousin, and she was also kind and kind, but you embarrassed me!" ”

Qiu Yulan didn't know Shi's comings and goings, and she didn't know if what she said was true or not, but since the queen said so, she had no choice but to get up and ask for guilt.

When she returned in vain, Xiao Zhuang was already waiting in her yard with Chenguang in her arms.

Hearing Qiu Yulan say that things can't be done, Xiao Zhuang naturally wanted to ask for the reason after regretting, and heard that Shi Shi took the first step to mention her maiden cousin, and also felt that Zhuang Man had no hope, after all, Shi had just killed his son, and he finally aroused some sympathy.

It's just surprising that a few days later, King Lu's concubine was elected, and it was not Xiao Shi's!

It's Tao Yibin!

"I think the old lady sent someone to greet the queen." Of course, Shi Shi was very disappointed when he heard the news, "In the end, it is a person from the Niangniang family, the Tao family has been declining over the years, but with the old lady here, when there is a benefit, I am not afraid of losing my light!" ”

Before entering the palace, she thought that the queen would definitely give her this face.

The Shi family has been an official for four generations, although it is said that there have never been important ministers, but there are still a few officials of the fourth or fifth grades. Her cousin is the daughter of Yuan, and she is good looking, and although the prince who is destined to be a backdrop for a lifetime is married, it is not to the point where she can't match.

What's more, Jiang Jinghua just died, and the Jiang family has been taking special care of her these days.

Who knew that Empress Jiang was kind and pleasant at the time, although she didn't give permission to speak, listening to the tone, Shi thought that the queen had agreed, but now it turned out that it was not-I didn't dare to say anything to complain about the queen, but my heart was inevitably sour.

The subordinate advised: "There are three princes who want to marry the concubine this time!" King Lu wants to marry Miss Tao, isn't there King Cai and King Wei? His Royal Highness King Cai's biological mother was born as a palace maid of Gu Guifei, and the queen mother may not be able to make up her mind alone, but the biological mother of His Royal Highness King Wei has been serving the queen carefully! ”

Shi thought about it, Shi Jiatu was also the glory of being a princess, but he didn't recognize which prince his daughter would be a princess for. The reason why I said King Lu at the beginning was because King Lu was the oldest among the three princes and had the best appearance.

"Princess Wei is also successful!" Shi Shi was in a better mood, "King Wei's biological mother Miao Zhaoyi's position is higher than that of King Lu and King Cai!" Carefully speaking, although King Wei is ranked after King Lu and King Cai, in terms of dignity, he is actually above his two brothers! ”

And then a few days later she was hit again!

First, Princess Cai intervened through Empress Dowager Gu and appointed Duan Qun's niece Duan Wenji.

In the end, it was finally the turn of King Wei - Princess Wei was actually Wang Qingqian, the niece of the newly promoted Dali honest Jianhai!

"How so?!" Shi couldn't sit still when he heard the news, and immediately sent someone to investigate, "Princess Cai, Princess Wei!" Why is it this unheard of Wang? Dali is from the five products, or new! If it's a niece, it's okay, but it's still a niece?! only mentions Wang's uncle and does not mention her father, it can be seen that her father may not even have an official body, and such a person is also worthy of being a royal daughter-in-law?! ”

How can this inquiry not be suspicious: "I just said that this Wang is shallow, I have never heard of it, how did it get into the eyes of the fourth aunt?" It turned out to be nineteen brothers and sisters!! Lanxi is a daughter! That person died before the list was released! The fourth room is really powerful, such a person is actually stuffed into a dignified prince and a serious prince!! ”

The subordinate said cautiously: "The news from Bei Que, the nineteenth young lady did mention the selection of Princess Lu to the queen mother that day, but it was Miss Zhuang who did not leave the cabinet. ”

Qiu Yulan has an acquaintance of Ni Jin, and Shi, who has been the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family for a few years before her, of course has her own ear thread around the queen.

But she didn't believe the words of the eyeliner at all now: "Who is Princess Nalu now?!" Is it Zhuang Man! ”

The subordinate was dumbfounded.

"In terms of the elderly, I am her sister-in-law! In terms of qualifications, I passed ten years before her! The more Shi Shi thought about it, the more angry he became, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble, "I haven't offended her in terms of grievances, she actually slapped me in the face like this!" ”

If Shi Shi had recommended his cousin to the queen before Qiu Yulan, it would have been fine. But Qiu Yulan just entered the palace after her, how could Shi not suspect that this was Qiu Yulan relying on her husband Jiang Yashuang's favor in front of the queen, and forcibly squeezed out her cousin?

was already in a bad mood because of his son's death, but when he thought about it like this, Shi Shi was angry and hateful, and fell ill that day!

But Qiu Yulan didn't know the inside story, and when she received the news that she was sick, she naturally wanted to visit.

Shi Shi was angry when he saw her, but it was difficult to come up with a theory about the prince's choice of a concubine, so he had to tactfully ridicule her: "I heard that the cousin of the nineteenth brother and sister has to choose Princess Wei?" This is really surprising, I have never heard of the nineteenth brother and sister having such a cousin, I think it is an excellent talent, otherwise how can I get into the eyes of the fourth aunt? He was reluctant to let us see it! ”

As soon as the three princesses were selected, Shi fell ill. Of course, Qiu Yulan would not have thought that her illness had something to do with the selection of the princess.

It's just that she thinks that when Shi entered the palace to ask for the queen, she wanted her cousin to be Princess Lu, but the current Princess Lu is Tao Yibin, so Shi should hate the Tao family if she wants to hate it, and it has nothing to do with her eight poles.

So she didn't expect Shi's logic to blame herself, so she naturally didn't think much about these words, and said with a smile: "I was also very surprised by what you said!" My cousin is the younger generation of my mother's grandmother, and I used to have sixteen sisters-in-law with me, studying under Mr. Shao, and she is very lively and lovely. In the past two years, my cousin has also been looking for someone for her, but he never thought of having the blessings he has now! ”

Shi Shi looked at her in a good mood - of course Qiu Yulan was in a good mood, her cousin unexpectedly married highly, and the person she married was of noble birth, but her temper was not bad, it is said that this family affair was still promoted by Miao Zhaoyi, and she was a cousin who wanted to feel happy for her cousin.

But this scene is called Shi's seems to be red. Bare. showed off naked, so after Qiu Yulan left, she pounded the bed and gritted her teeth and swore "I will let your cousin marry the king of Wei, unless my Shi family is dead!! ”

…… In fact, Shi was not the only one who suspected that Qiu Lulan entered the palace under the banner of pulling strings for Zhuang Man, but in fact, he was promoting his cousin Wang Qingqian - for example, the banker.

After all, Xiao Zhuang's family personally came to the door to entrust Qiu Lulan, and Zhuang Man didn't get any of the last three princess positions, but Wang Qingqian, who everyone had never heard of and hadn't noticed, was killed and became the princess of Quasi-Wei!

Fortunately, after hearing the news, Jiang Yashuang personally went to her uncle's house to help explain: "I didn't know about this before, and she was also shocked when the news came out!" ”

Just saying this, even if the Zhuang family believes it in their mouths, they must not believe it in their hearts.

So Jiang Yashuang broke them down and said the key point, "It's not surprising if you think about it carefully: this time the candidate for Princess Wei is Miao Zhaoyi's fourth aunt, speaking of which, this is the Jiang family's ugliness, and what happened to His Royal Highness King Qi earlier may have scared Miao Zhaoyi!" ”

Zhuang Siye is a smart person, and after hearing such a sentence, he immediately understood: "Our family Man'er is indeed very spicy, and there is a rut in the past of King Qi, no wonder Miao Zhaoyi does not dare to ask her; Although the girls of the Shi family are known as gentle and virtuous, in the end, they are also the daughters of the official eunuchs, and they are the cousins of the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the princess. But Miss Wang is the most suitable! ”

His wife, Mrs. Ai, didn't react yet, and asked anxiously: "Man'er and the Shi family girls didn't get into Zhaoyi's eyes, I know, but why is Miss Wang the most suitable?" We've never heard of this guy before, have we? "The niece of the five-grade official, is it okay to grab a lot of them in Jingli? There are many relatives with the Jiang family, why is it Wang Qingqian?

"Madam, you are really ......" Zhuang Siye was quite speechless when he heard this, shook his head and said, "You think that this Miss Wang is an only daughter, she has no brothers and sisters, and her father's fame is only after his death." With such a background, all the children of ordinary official families have to live carefully, let alone the prince? The most important thing is that her father went early and grew up with his widowed mother in a foreign family, even if Lian Jianhai and others pity their mother and daughter and treat her as their own, they will be sent under the fence after all! With such an experience, how many girls can still develop the temper of the eldest lady? In this way, Miao Zhaoyi will still worry about King Wei being bullied by the princess? ”

And he said, "And who is Miss Wang's cousin?" It's nineteen daughters-in-law! Miss Wang's background is low, but she is not without a place to take advantage of it! There are no outsiders here, I'll tell you the truth: from the Jiang family's point of view, the cousin of the Shi family's girl is the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Duke of Guo, and her status is higher than that of the nineteenth daughter-in-law, but in front of the queen's mother, how can Jiang Yaqing be compared with the nineteenth? We are still notoriously loving daughters-in-law...... Madam, you said that Miao Zhaoyi asked King Wei for this Miss Wang to be the concubine, except that Miss Wang's background is really not high, and she will lose face here, where is the actual cheapness? ”

Mrs. Ai suddenly resented Jiang Qiyun: "It's all ...... when I said it" Seeing that Jiang Yashuang was still there in the middle of the sentence, she was afraid that he would lose face before she finished speaking, so she only sighed and said, "Since Man'er doesn't have the blessing of being the emperor's daughter-in-law, then let's find someone for her again!" ”

When the Zhuang family and the Shi family were disappointed, the Lian family fell into an extremely tangled mood for this pie that fell from the sky: the Lian family was in the Lian Lao Shangshu meeting, which was the most prominent time in the upper and lower generations, and they had never been close to the royal family - the old concubine Lian was married to a king with a different surname.

Now Wang Qingqian has such a creation, although she is not surnamed Lian, after all, the Lian family has grown up, and emotionally prefers the Lian family to the Wang family, and the Lian family is naturally happy for her in their hearts.

But in addition to the joy, there is a very real problem in front of us - dowry!
